_{Response-based practice (RBP) offers a revised approach to working with violence and trauma. RBP critiques the many established taken for granted concepts about mental health and trauma-informed practices that inadvertently misrepresent the victim of violence/violation. From our own combined experience of over 25 years of practice with people who have suffered from violence, violation, or other forms of adversity, we are confident that with this misrepresentation addressed, clinicians will be able to provide greater assistance to those seeking help.}

_{Based on the collective work of Response-based Practice.
Response-based practice maintains that people are active and responsive actors in their lives (Wade, 1999). We do not subscribe to an objectified version of personhood where people are seen as passively effected or impacted by the world. Whatever the self is, we prefer to maintain that it is complex and constantly responding to the world in which it lives. It is not static; it moves and responds intelligently according to both environment and social conditions.}
